The Bobby Valentine Sport Show: Episode 53

Hello everybody, and welcome back to another episode of The Bobby Valentine Sport Show. I am your host, Frank Ramppen, and let’s dive into another week of the MLB season. Yesterday, June 2nd, marked Lou Gehrig Day, honoring all those who have lost their lives and are battling ALS, and remembering the legendary career of the Iron Horse, Lou Gehrig. Yesterday was also Daryl Strawberry Bobblehead Day, following the retirement of his number at Citi Field. As tradition holds, a bobblehead in New York means it’s going to be on the table, so Daryl Strawberry, welcome to the squad. To commemorate him, I’m wearing my Daryl Strawberry jersey today. His number 18 will never be worn by a Met again, and yesterday, fans received a bobblehead to celebrate.

Now, let’s dive into the stat of the week. We’re in the full swing of baseball season, and college baseball is in the thick of playoffs. The regionals started this past weekend, and what an incredible weekend of games it was. On Friday, there were six walk-offs in one day, with three of them being walk-off home runs. This was the most on any day in college baseball since 1999. It was an unbelievable first day of the regionals, with ten walk-offs over the weekend so far, and still six more games to go today. The record for walk-offs in a regional round is 12, so there’s a good chance it could be broken after this weekend. College baseball has been unbelievably fun to watch, and if you haven’t been watching, you’re missing out.

Now, let’s go to our play of the week. There was a lot of great outfield play throughout the week, and this one actually came in at number two on the MLB top 10. Ian Happ smokes one to center field, and Blake Perkins, ranging back, lays out on the warning track, diving into the fence to make an unbelievable catch to rob extra bases. What a jump, what a play, giving up his body with full-out extension. He slammed the side of his head into the wall, and thankfully it was at the end of his slide, not full speed, but still, wow.

Breaking Down Ángel Hernández’s WORST CALLS!!!

Breaking Down Ángel Hernández's WORST CALLS!!!

Breaking Down Ángel Hernández’s WORST CALLS!!!

Hello everybody and welcome back to another episode of The Bobby Valentine Sport Show. I’m your host, Frank Ramppen. In this episode, we have some significant news: Angel Hernandez has retired from Major League Baseball after 34 years of umpiring. Love him or hate him, Angel Hernandez has been a polarizing figure in Major League Baseball for the last 34 years. One of the mainstay figures over the last three decades of baseball has finally retired, and we’re going to have to do a breakdown video on his career.

Angel Hernandez is well known for having had a number of questionable calls over his career, both behind the plate and on the base paths. He began his career in 1991 as a call-up umpire and became a full-time umpire in the major leagues in 1993. Over his career, he worked three All-Star games—in 1999 at Fenway Park, in 2009, and in 2017. He also umpired 12 Division Series, eight Championship Series, and two World Series in 2002 and 2005. Angel Hernandez has seen a lot of baseball over his time, but he finally hangs up his gear.

Born in Havana, Cuba, in August 1962, Angel Hernandez’s family moved to Hialeah, Florida, when he was just 14 months old. He began umpiring at a very young age, starting in the KY league in St. Louis as a teenager. In 1981, he began umpiring in the Florida State League, his first professional job at 18 years old, where he made $900 a month.

Angel Hernandez has been an umpire for basically his entire life. He moved to the Carolina League in 1984 and was promoted to the Southern League in 1986, earning a raise to $1,800. He reached the top level of minor league baseball in the American Association in 1988, where he was paid $2,200. Hernandez has been a lifer in umpiring, whether it be in the major leagues, minor leagues, or other leagues that weren’t even considered professional.

In May 1991, he got his first call-ups to the major leagues as a substitute for a full-time umpire.

The Bobby Valentine Sport Show: Episode 52

Hello, everybody, and welcome back to another episode of The Bobby Valentine Sport Show. I’m your host, Frank Ramppen, and let’s dive into another week of the MLB season. I recently made a quick trip over the past week and a half, visiting five MLB stadiums for five games in five different cities. One of them is proudly represented by the logo across my chest right here.

It started off in Miami, my last day down in Florida after moving out of school. I went to a Miami Marlins game on Friday night. Then I came back to New York on Tuesday and went to Citi Field to catch a Mets game. I saw Aaron Nola throw a complete game shutout in 106 pitches, his fourth career complete game shutout. On Friday night, I attended a Yankees game where I saw Aaron Judge hit a homer in the first inning, Giancarlo Stanton hit a homer, and saw two doubles from Stanton. Pretty exciting stuff.

After that, I flew out to California to visit my brother and went to a Giants game on Sunday. I watched the Giants take down the Rockies with Matt Chapman playing some incredible third base. It was part of his stretch where he had seven consecutive hits in seven at-bats. To cap it all off, on Tuesday I attended a game in Oakland between the Rockies and A’s. It was a great game, and I have a fun fact about that one.

So, let’s dive right into it: five games, five cities, all in about a week and a half. That’s why we missed last week, but let’s move into this week’s stat of the week.

Don Mattingly, the great Yankees legend, was one of the few Yankees legends who did not win a World Series. In 1987, he set an MLB record by hitting six grand slams in a single season. Six grand slams in one season is an MLB record that still stands today. Mattingly had a very long career, but in the five seasons before 1987, he hit zero grand slams, and in the five seasons after 1987, he hit zero grand slams. So, he hit six grand slams in 1987 and didn’t have a single other one for his entire career. Pretty incredible stuff.

Now, let’s go to the play of the week. It’s going to take us to the south side of Chicago, where the Baltimore Orioles just took on the Chicago White Sox in a three-game series.

The Bobby Valentine Sport Show: Episode 51

Hello everybody and welcome back to another episode of The Bobby Valentine Sport Show. I’m your host, Frank Ramppen, back in the home studio with all the lovely pieces of memorabilia on the wall. Let’s dive into another week of the MLB season. It’s the second week of May, and Mother’s Day was yesterday. There were lots of great Mother’s Day baseball games. Happy Mother’s Day to everyone out there, including my mom.

Let’s start off with the play of the week. This one takes us out to Atlanta, Georgia, in a game between the Red Sox and the Braves. Chris Sale was on the bump, and Garrett Cooper was at the dish. Cooper got into a slider from Sale, lifting it high and deep to left field. Kellick went back to the track, to the wall, sized it up, leaped, and brought the home run back. The timing of the jump by Jared Kellick was unbelievable. He got to the spot, timed it perfectly, leaped, and looked like he didn’t even know he had caught it. When he realized the ball was in the webbing, he lost his mind. It was an unbelievable play from Jared Kellick. Chris Sale loved it, almost gave up a homer there but not to be.

Jared Kellick and the Braves have been playing some pretty good baseball lately, but not as good as their counterparts in the division, the Philadelphia Phillies, who have been the hottest team in baseball along with the Twins. The Phillies currently have the best record in baseball. Now, Jared Kellick made an unbelievable play, so let’s go to our game of the week. This one was on Saturday: Pirates versus Cubs. It was the very highly anticipated debut of Paul Skenes, the number one overall pick in last year’s MLB draft, finally coming up to pitch for the big club in Pittsburgh. This was a huge event, likely a sellout crowd in Pittsburgh on May 11th. The crowd was absolutely rocking, it was unbelievable.

Skenes came out to take the mound for his first inning of work. Top of the first inning, PNC Park was buzzing. The first batter he faced was Mike Tauchman, and he blew him away with a 101 mph fastball. See you later, first batter, first strikeout for the big man Paul Skenes. All five of the four-seam fastballs he threw in that first at-bat to Mike Tauchman were over 100 mph, showing that he was locked in and ready to go immediately. He did not stop there.

The Bobby Valentine Sport Show: Episode 50

Hello everybody and welcome back to another episode of The Bobby Valentine Sport Show. I’m your host Frank Ramppen. Let’s dive into another week of the baseball season.

So first week of May under the belt, players of the week for the first week of May. Brent Rooker of the Oakland A’s had a .438 batting average over 1600 OPS, 3 home runs on the week, 7 RBIs. Two of those home runs came in the bottom of the third inning, same inning on Saturday in a 20-4 route of the Miami Marlins. So the Oakland A’s playing way better baseball than anybody could really imagine and Brent Rooker one of the best hitters in baseball at the moment.

National League player of the week, no surprise, Shohei Ohtani. He’s been the best player in all of baseball for pretty much the first month and a little bit of the season. He’s been unbelievable, hitting .524 over the week, north of 1500 OPS, three home runs as well, six runs scored, seven RBIs, two stolen bases. I mean, the guy is just absurd, hit another home run last night after two on Sunday, just an absolute freak. He can’t be stopped right now, just tattooing National League pitching.

Let’s go to the play of the week. This takes us to Petco Park in San Diego. Manny Machado stays on a breaking ball, lifts it high and deep in the air to right field. Stuart Fairchild onto the track at the wall, leaps and brings it back. Oh my goodness, what a play by Stuart Fairchild to bring back a homer. And have we seen something like this before? Maybe 2017 World Baseball Classic, same stadium, same batter, Petco Park, Manny Machado back when he was on the Orioles. High flyball, deep center field when he was playing for the team Dominican against Team USA and his former teammate Adam Jones made a similar play to rob him of a home run in field. So Petco Park, now Manny Machado’s home field as now he’s a Padre. Similar play happens to him, robs the homer, Stuart Fairchild, unbelievable, what a play.

So now we go from the play of the week to the game of the week.

The Bobby Valentine Sport Show: Episode 49

Hello everybody and welcome back to another episode of The Bobby Valentine Sport Show. I am your host Frank Ramppen. Let’s dive into another week of the MLB season. So, a little bit of a hiatus here on The Bobby Valentine Sport Show but that’s just because I’m graduating college, just trying to get all my stuff ready to go. But we’ll be back every single week now for the rest of the season.

A full month of the MLB season is in the books now. It started on March 28th, today is May 1st, so over a month into the season. April is gone and what a month it has been. Some surprising good starts, some surprising bad starts for some teams. We’ll break it all down for you but let’s start how we always do with our play of the week.

So, this one’s going to take us out to Detroit, bottom of the third inning here. Parker Meadows at the dish, Seth Lugo on the bump for the Royals. Kansas City one nothing, Royals here, 2-2 count to Parker Meadows. Meadows is going to lift one high and deep in the air to right field. Runner leads off first going back, Adam Frasier leaps at the wall and brings it back. Couple shuffle steps, fires back into first, one hop on the bag, double play. What a turn from Adam Frasier, leaps at the wall, times it just perfect, elbow above the yellow line, brings back the homer. What an athletic play from Adam Frasier. I mean Adam Frasier, utility player, played a lot of second base in his career, that’s his primary position. I mean not really an outfielder making an unbelievable play to rob a homer from Parker Meadows. Great great play from him out in the outfield.

Now from the game of our play of the week to the game of the week now. And I mean I’ve been a little bit slacking two game of the weeks this week. First one, this past Sunday Night Baseball at Fenway excuse me, two of the most historic franchises in baseball meeting at a historic venue in Fenway Park, oldest in all baseball. Connor Wong in the bottom of the first inning grounds one back up the middle, RBI single opens up the scoring for the Sox in the first. Good piece of hitting there on the slider, working away, just pounds that one back up the middle right back where it came from. And I always love to watch the interviews that they do with the players in the field on Sunday night. This week was Tyler O’Neal, had him out there in left, and Tanner Ha who had an unbelievable week of pitching or month of pitching honestly in the month of April along with the entire Red Sox staff. He was out there, struck out the side, so didn’t have too much to hear from Tyler O’Neal.

The Bobby Valentine Sport Show: Episode 48

Hello everybody and welcome back to another episode of The Bobby Valentine Sport Show. I’m your host Frank Ramppen. Let’s dive into week two of the MLB season. Baseball is back, better than ever. The full opening week has finally come to a conclusion, about to head into the second weekend of baseball. About to be unbelievable, or we just had the second week of baseball about heading into the third week, unbelievable stuff going on.

Let’s start off like we always do with our play of the week. So this one comes from Monday night’s affair in the Twin Cities Minneapolis between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Minnesota Twins. So let’s pick things up here. Teoscar Hernandez at the dish, 2 to 2 ball game, one out, runners on first and second. Teoscar lines one into the right-center field gap, working its way away from Byron Buxton. Full extension layout, what a play from Buxton! Oh my goodness, when he is healthy roaming center field at Target Field in Minneapolis, it is an absolute joy to watch. Keeps this game tied here in the top of the sixth inning and records out number two. Look at this from the top view, that ball slicing away from him off the right-handed batter’s back. Fully extended Superman dive from Buxton puts it away for out number two and almost doubled up Freddie Freeman at second. What a play from Byron Buxton. He needs to stay healthy, play a full year in center field, please, so we could watch him put up the most insane highlight reel of all time. But Byron Buxton, unreal play to get Teoscar Hernandez for out number two.

So what a play in center field in Minnesota from Buxton. Let’s move over to the West Coast now, San Diego to be exact, for a game of the week. Petco Park celebrating its 20th anniversary on this day, so Padres versus Cubs.

The Bobby Valentine Sport Show: Episode 47

Hello everybody and welcome back to another episode of The Bobby Valentine Sport Show. I’m your host Frank Ramppen. The final four and national championship game of March Madness have commenced this past weekend. Saturday was the final four, and this past Monday was the national championship. What a three-game slate we got, great matchups all around the board.

Let’s start off with the final four. Number 11 NC State took on number 1 Purdue, the final real Cinderella Story left in this tournament. Number 11 NC State weren’t even going to make the NCAA tournament. Heading into it 17 and 14 in the regular season, heading into the ACC tournament, they win five games in five straight nights, the first time in the history of the ACC tournament that anyone does that. They go from Tuesday all the way to Saturday, win every game, five games in a row, and head right into the NCAA tournament as an 11 seed and go all the way to the final four. DJ Burns and DJ Horne absolutely carried this team all the way, but against Purdue, they just fell short 63 to 50. A 13-point win for the boilermakers, heading to their first national championship since 1980.

Purdue didn’t look the best in this game; it was a pretty tight affair back and forth going into the halftime. In the second half, 15 minutes in, NC State only scored four points. They had 39 points going into halftime, and with five minutes left in the game, they had 43. You’re not going to win any basketball games like that. They forced a lot of Purdue turnovers, double-digit turnovers for Purdue. That’s what all the analysts were saying needed to happen if NC State had a chance, which they really did until they couldn’t hit a shot in the second half. They just couldn’t score. They were playing solid defense; Purdue only scored 63 points in total and won this game, but just unable to keep up with them was the NC State offense, falling in the final four. So that’s the fourth or fifth time now that the 11 seed has made it but never made it to the national championship game.

Number four Alabama played number one UConn. This was also a pretty solid game for the first half as well. UConn actually trailing for what seemed like an eternity in the first half. They actually had a four-point deficit they had to chase from the Crimson Tide. In the first half of this game, they trailed for about four minutes, after only trailing for like 50 seconds in the first five rounds combined. So Alabama gave UConn a little bit of work. But UConn in the second half, like they do to everyone else, just kind of smother you, just keep going. They never stop running their offense, running their sets, they just do exactly what they want, get to their spots and take good high percentage looks. So UConn takes them down 86-72, heading to the national championship game to take on Purdue.

The Bobby Valentine Sport Show: Episode 46

Hello everybody and welcome back to another episode of The Bobby Valentine Sport Show. I’m your host Frank Ramppen, and baseball is back. Major League Baseball returned about 10ish days ago, a little over in Seoul, South Korea, between the Dodgers and the Padres. We touched on that a little bit in a couple of episodes ago, but had to really wait for the official opening day Thursday, March 28th. And the first weekend, opening week of the MLB, has finally got here and I could not be more excited. Got my A’s shirt on, let’s go Oakland, and we’ll dive right into the first baseball episode of 2024.

So opening week is upon us, let’s get into the recap. Baseball is back and let’s take you out to the Oakland Coliseum for opening day for our play of the week. Let’s do it, why not? Why would we not? You know, because unreal things were happening in Oakland, maybe not wins, but in the outfield. So top of the first inning, actually, this was Saturday, this was an opening day, excuse me. So this was a couple of days into the season. This might have been Friday, not positive, but whatever. Not opening day because JPC’s on the mound. Believe it was Saturday. So top of the first inning, one away, just kicking things off here at the Coliseum. He’s looking for win number one in the season. Jose Ramirez, the AL MVP front runner, or not front runner, he’s been up there for MVP, not won the award. He’s finished second, he’s finished third. But coming up for his first at-bat here, top of the first, one count, facing JP Sears, he rips an off-speed pitch high and deep in the air to the center field. JJ Bladé, ranging back, leaps and brings back Jose Ramirez’s homer. What a play from JJ Bladé, fully extended at the wall, reaching and pulling that one back. So first play of the week for baseball comes from the boys out in Oakland. What a play, JJ Bladé, like Dallas Braden would say, kicking things off the right way. But A’s, do pick up a win, their first win of the season on a walk-off walk on Easter Sunday. So in the win column, that’s all I got to say.

So diving from our play of the week that was in Oakland all the way to Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati where the Reds took on the Nationals this weekend at the weekend series. This game comes from Easter Sunday and if you saw how this game ended, oh boy, what a finish this was.
